[PCW] fuel economy

[Jonah Jones]

Hi Malcolm,

Chrysalis passed through Bermuda earlier last Summer.
A beautiful boat.
Could you share with the forum the approximate cost of having such a  
boat built and well equipped.
Also what would the approximate cost of an Ocean passage such as a  
trans Atlantic be?

thanks Jonah.
